Urticaria, high incidence in spring and summer?

"Dr. Liu Orange Yu", the dermatology department of "Chengdu Seventh People's Hospital", introduced that the incidence of urticaria and the season is not great.

As long as there are induced factors such as drugs, food, inhalation, infection, physical factors, mental factors, and internal medicine diseases, urticaria can be high all year round.

Those who recover in the short term are called acute urticaria. If it is repeatedly issued at least twice a week and is more than 6 consecutive weeks, it is called chronic urticaria.

In terms of pathogenesis, the incidence of urticaria includes immune mechanisms (which can be understood as "allergies") and non -immune mechanisms (physical, microorganisms, etc.).

Get urticaria

Does it mean that the immunity is low?

Dr. Liu Orange Yu explained that to be precise, urticaria may represent immune functional imbalances, not necessarily reduced immune function.

Urticaria is a relatively common skin disease. Its cause is very complicated. About 3/4 patients cannot find the cause, especially chronic urticaria.

Common reasons can be roughly divided into three aspects: exogenous, endogenous, and unique.

● Exogenous: including some common foods, food additives, drugs, and some microorganisms, infections of parasites, as well as inhaled substances, such as dust mites, formaldehyde, etc. , Sunlight, friction, pressure, etc.

● Endogenicity: Including mental factors such as tension, depression, emotional fluctuations, and some systemic diseases, such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes, kidney disease, connective tissue disease, etc., and immune function imbalances.

● Specialty: refers to some causes that are difficult to clear.

If these symptoms appear, be vigilant is the attack of urticaria!

Severe to death!

The most prominent feature of urticaria is that itching of the skin is accompanied by the appearance of wind groups (different sizes and forms), which are bright red or pale and skin tone. A few patients have edema erythema.

And urticaria also has a characteristic: no shadow to go without a trace ...

This is because the occurrence of urticaria wind groups is uncertain, and some of them last for a few minutes to a few hours, but there are a few cases that can be extended until a few days before fading without leaving traces.

Some patients may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, headache, head bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and severe patients may also have systemic symptoms such as chest tightness, discomfort, pale complexion, accelerated heart rate, weak pulse, blood pressure, short respiratory respiratory and other systemic symptoms.

Doctors remind: For patients with systemic symptoms, they need to be highly vigilant and need to go to the hospital for medical treatment in time, otherwise there may be life -threatening!

Why do urticaria develop repeatedly?

Is it really impossible to cure?

Dr. Liu Orange Yu said that urticaria has no cure.

It is precisely because the cause of urticaria is very complicated that it is difficult to find the cause or multiple causes, so it can lead to recurrence of urticaria.

Therefore, the prevention of urticaria should start with the cause, try to find suspicious causes as much as possible, and focus on avoiding it, in order to effectively prevent the occurrence of urticaria.
